He didn't perform a number he'd planned Saturday in Buenos Aires, so Bruce Springsteen gave his Argentine fans the next best thing — a video of the song.

On Monday, Springsteen posted a cover of Argentine folk-rock singer León Gieco's Sólo le Pido a Dios, which translates as Only Ask of God, singing it in Spanish and English.

"There is a song I planned to sing at our Buenos Aires concert that I learned from the wonderful Argentine singer, Mercedes Sosa," Springsteen wrote on his website. "I wasn't quite prepared that evening so I'm glad to send this out now to all of our friends and fans in Argentina."

Introducing Gieco's song in Spanish, Springsteen recalled his previous trip to the South American country in 1988.

"My memories of that time are still very much alive," he said, according to a translation from the Associated Press. "We came to Argentina when the country was going through a difficult time, and fighting for its future. For a foreigner, Argentina was very much alive, promising," he said. "So it's a huge inspiration for me to return here, and I want to leave this song to the people of Argentina."

Springsteen begins the song in Spanish, then switches to English, singing:

I only ask of GodThat I'm not indifferent to injustice,That death will not find meEmpty, alone, having done nothing
